Juneteenth 2025 Open Studio at Historic Stagville
Meet the Indigo Yard Gals artist team at Stagville's Great Barn for an open studio day. Drop in to help prepare a series of “ancestral blueprints,” an ongoing series of cyanotype fabric art pieces. Join the artists in developing cyanotype fabric prints inspired by Stagville's history and memory. Cyanotype is an early form of print made without a camera, using paper treated with iron salts and sunlight to create stunning blue and white prints. The collective art created at this Open Studio will be used in a upcoming 2025 program at Stagville.
